Tennessee-Martin vs Kennesaw State Prediction

The Kennesaw State Owls have struggled with their transition to the FBS and this season through 3 games has been a tough watch, especially on the offensive side. Ranked 13th in total offense and scoring offense, Kennesaw State is probably the worst offense in the country at this very moment. With that said, the UT Martin Skyhawks aren't lighting the world on fire in the FCS ranks, and they've allowed 30 or more points in 3 of their first 4 games. If Kennesaw State is going to win a game this season, this would probably be it. And while still a new FBS squad, you rarely get lines this soft between FCS and FBS programs. Give me the Kennesaw State Owls.
